lisa -

    to all the very good advice from kathy anderson i would add: 

    - notify your credit card bank that you will be using the card to
    order items from tucson at that time - that way you don't have to
    tell them you will be gone from home then. 

    - take snacks along with the water; hunger could stop you from
    getting to that one dealer with the perfect deal. 

    - keep every card/invoice in the bag with item(s). note all details
    on back of card/invoice. dealers usually don't have time - or english
    - to do it. 

    - take several sturdy tote bags (canvas, denim) or a small roller
    bag. while some people complain about roller bags at the shows it is
    because they are not paying attention. one year i gave my partner a
    combination good backpack-convert-to-roller bag and he wore out the
    outer wheel coverings the first week; roller bags are back savers.
    (of course i won't mention that it was holding about 100+ pounds the
    time my teva-clad foot was run over crossing congress, and then i was
    told to "pick up the pace" the next several blocks - the memorial
    service was well attended)
